[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a question for parents of children in older grades. We are currently in PS3 and have had a great experience with the school so far and are happy  with the teachers and administration. My nagging concern is about academics (mostly from reading this thread). In the early years the focus seems to be primarily on social and behavioral skills. How are the academics at the Kindergarten level and above? [/quote]

Our first grader was well prepared in K and 1st for the reading, writing, and math curriculum. Literacy is taught in a Reading and Writing Workshop, google the work of Lucy Calkins of Teachers College if you aren't familiar with the style) and math is taught through the Envision Math curriculum from Pearson. Not entirely sure about the math curriculum - is anyone happy with their school's math program? - but there are groups of varying skill levels within the classroom and my DC seems to enjoy the activities and explains the concepts they're learning with ease.[/quote]
